Just had a new heating system put in as Mikuni parts are becoming to difficult to obtain. Therefore I have a Mikuni MX 40 unit complete with metal back plate. Spare control unit and 3 glow plugs 2 of which are almost new. It was working when taken out although the fuel pump was suspect. Ideal for someone who wants to service/rebuild it or for the spares. Sensible offers considered. Can collect from Southam or can post at cost. Hit me up if interested lol

We have an MX 40, but for the time being nothing wrong with it. I do know spares are nearly impossible to get. Not particularly motivated to get a spare machine “just in case” but if you don’t get any takers and are contemplating just chucking it, I might be interested for a modest fee. Depends on what you consider a “sensible offer” I guess.

I reckon he wants a ton for it.

Well I know how I struggled to get parts even gaskets are impossible, I made the last two. The glow plugs cost around £25/30 a pop and the spare control unit cost me £60 which is a hell of a lot less than the main dealer charges. Then you have the main unit and ancillary parts. At the end of the day it is only worth what someone will pay but if I was going to 'chuck it' I would have said so.

There used to be a pretty active market for these on eBay. I've got one on the barge it does work but don't use it, bought a spare on eBay that was a few years ago.
I think most people who have these come across the obsolete product situation and knock them out on eBay then fit a new version.
Mikuni now use a Chinese manufacturer I believe.
I actually really like the MX40 it is a quality item but it is getting to that stage where yes, one takes it out and gets rid of it.
